Description

有机发光器件及其制作方法 技术领域
本发明属于有机电致发光技术领域,具体地讲,涉及一种有机发光器件及其制作方法。
背景技术
近年来,有机发光二极管(Organic Light-Emitting Diode,OLED)成为国内外非常热门的新兴平面显示器产品,这是因为OLED显示器具有自发光、广视角(达175°以上)、短反应时间(1μs)、高发光效率、广色域、低工作电压(3~10V)、薄厚度(可小于1mm)、可制作大尺寸与可挠曲的面板及制程简单等特性,而且它还具有低成本的潜力。
目前,有机发光二极管由具有不同功能的多层结构组成。每层结构所采用材料的固有属性及其与其他层结构所采用材料的兼容性是非常重要的。在多层结构中,通常包括空穴注入层(HIL)、空穴传输层(HTL)、发光层(EML)、电子传输层(ETL)以及电子注入层(EIL)等。在基于红、绿、蓝三色的彩色有机发光二极管(multi-color OLED)中,可以调节不同层结构的厚度来调节OLED元器件的微腔效应,达到提高出光效率和调节每种颜色光的谱宽(spectral width)窄化的作用。例如,可以通过调节红、绿、蓝三种颜色发光层对应的空穴传输层的厚度来调整三种颜色发光层出射光的谱宽,达到平衡颜色的效果。在这种设计中,空穴传输层就不能够作为公共层(common layer)来蒸镀,需要增加使用精细金属掩膜版(Fine metal mask)。这样不仅增加了流程工艺的时间,而且由于金属掩膜板清洗方面的问题,大大增加了有机发光二极管的成本。此外,由于精细金属掩膜版使用中存在对准的问题(alignment issue),会大大降低有机发光二极管的制作成功率。

具体实施方式
以下,将参照附图来详细描述本发明的实施例。然而,可以以许多不同的形式来实施本发明,并且本发明不应该被解释为限制于这里阐述的具体实施例。相反,提供这些实施例是为了解释本发明的原理及其实际应用,从而使本领域的其他技术人员能够理解本发明的各种实施例和适合于特定预期应用的各种修改。
在附图中,为了清楚器件,夸大了层和区域的厚度。相同的标号在整个说明书和附图中表示相同的元器件。
有机电致发光组件(或称有机EL元件)是指处于两个电极之间的一个或多个有机层,它们在外加电压下发光。
图1A至图1C是根据本发明的实施例的有机发光器件的制程图。
参照图1A,在衬底基材100上制作底电极210。
衬底基材100可以是透明的或者不透明的。对于通过衬底基材100观察有机电致发光组件发光来说,衬底基材100是具有透光性质。在此情况下通常使用透明玻璃或塑料。对于通过顶电极观察有机电致发光组件发光来说,衬底基材100的可以是透光的、吸光的或反光的。用于这种情况的材料包括但是不局限于玻璃、塑料、半导体材料、陶瓷、电路板材料或任何其它合适的材料。
底电极210最通常被设置为阳极。底电极210也是反光镜。当通过衬底基材100观察有机电致发光组件发光时,底电极210可以由反射性金属制成,并且应该足够薄以便在发射光的波长下具有部分透光率,这被称为是半透明的,或者底电极210可以由透明的金属氧化物制成,诸如氧化铟锡或氧化锌锡等。 当通过顶电极观察有机电致发光组件发光时,底电极210可以由反射性金属制成,并且应该足够厚,以使其基本上是不透光的且是全反光镜。
参照图1B,利用蒸镀技术及光刻技术在底电极210上制作有机电致发光组件300(或称有机EL元件)。以下对有机电致发光组件300的制作方法进行具体描述说明。
图2A至图2E是根据本发明的实施例的有机电致发光组件的制程图。
参照图2A,在底电极210上蒸镀空穴注入层(HIL)310。空穴注入层310可以用来提高后续有机层的成膜性质,并且有助于将空穴注入到空穴传输层(HTL)中。
参照图2B,按共振模态所需厚度在空穴注入层310上利用光刻技术制作能够发出不同颜色光线的发光层各自对应的空穴传输层320A、320B和320C。其中空穴传输层320A、320B和320C彼此间隔。如图2C所示,能够发出不同颜色光线的发光层包括:能够发出红色光线的第一发光层330A、能够发出绿色光线的第二发光层330B以及能够发出蓝色光线的第三发光层330C。以下对空穴传输层320A、320B和320C的制作方法进行具体描述说明。需要说明的是,本发明并不对空穴传输层320A、320B和320C的制作顺序作具体限定。

参照图3B,在有机材料层OG上涂布覆盖光阻层PR。这里光阻层PR采用负光阻材料制成。
参照图3C,利用第一曝光光罩410对光阻层PR进行曝光。这里第一曝光光罩410相对于第一发光层330A的部分透光,其余部分不透光。
参照图3D,对经曝光后的光阻层PR进行显影,以将未被光照的光阻层PR去除。这里所采用的显影液与有机材料层OG所采用的有机材料兼容,不 会破坏有机材料层OG。
参照图3E,将未被光阻层PR覆盖的有机材料层OG刻蚀去除。
参照图3F,将被光照的光阻层PR剥离,从而形成第一发光层330A对应的空穴传输层320A。这里所采用的剥离液与有机材料层OG所采用的有机材料兼容,不会破坏有机材料层OG。
图4A至图4F是根据本发明的实施例的第二发光层对应的空穴传输层的制程图。
参照图4A,按第二发光层330B对应的空穴传输层320B共振模态所需厚度在空穴注入层310上蒸镀有机材料层OG。这里第二发光层330B对应的空穴传输层320B共振模态所需厚度大于第一发光层330A对应的空穴传输层320A共振模态所需厚度。
参照图4B,在有机材料层OG上涂布覆盖光阻层PR。这里光阻层PR采用负光阻材料制成。
参照图4C,利用第二曝光光罩420对光阻层PR进行曝光。这里第二曝光光罩420相对于第二发光层330B的部分透光,其余部分不透光。
参照图4D,对经曝光后的光阻层PR进行显影,以将未被光照的光阻层PR去除。这里所采用的显影液与有机材料层OG所采用的有机材料兼容,不会破坏有机材料层OG。
参照图4E,将未被光阻层PR覆盖的有机材料层OG刻蚀去除。
参照图4F,将被光照的光阻层PR剥离,从而形成第二发光层330B对应的空穴传输层320B。这里所采用的剥离液与有机材料层OG所采用的有机材料兼容,不会破坏有机材料层OG。
图5A至图5F是根据本发明的实施例的第三发光层对应的空穴传输层的制程图。
参照图5A,按第三发光层330C对应的空穴传输层320C共振模态所需厚 度在空穴注入层310上蒸镀有机材料层OG。这里按第三发光层330C对应的空穴传输层320C共振模态所需厚度大于第二发光层330B对应的空穴传输层320B共振模态所需厚度。
参照图5B,在有机材料层OG上涂布覆盖光阻层PR。这里光阻层PR采用负光阻材料制成。
参照图5C,利用第三曝光光罩430对光阻层PR进行曝光。这里第三曝光光罩430相对于第三发光层330C的部分透光,其余部分不透光。
参照图5D,对经曝光后的光阻层PR进行显影,以将未被光照的光阻层PR去除。这里所采用的显影液与有机材料层OG所采用的有机材料兼容,不会破坏有机材料层OG。
参照图5E,将未被光阻层PR覆盖的有机材料层OG刻蚀去除。
参照图5F,将被光照的光阻层PR剥离,从而形成第三发光层330C对应的空穴传输层320C。这里所采用的剥离液与有机材料层OG所采用的有机材料兼容,不会破坏有机材料层OG。
以下继续对有机电致发光组件300的制作方法进行具体描述说明。
继续参照图2C,在各空穴传输层上蒸镀对应的发光层。这里在空穴传输层320A上蒸镀第一发光层330A,在空穴传输层320B上蒸镀第二发光层330B,空穴传输层320C上蒸镀第三发光层330C。其中第一发光层330A、第二发光层330B和第三发光层330C可以分时或同时蒸镀而成。在第一发光层330A、第二发光层330B和第三发光层330C中,由于空穴-电子的重新组合而发出各自对应颜色的光线。
参照图2D,在各发光层上同时蒸镀电子传输层340。
参照图2E,在电子传输层340上蒸镀电子注入层350。
图2A至图2E示出了本发明的有机电致发光组件的一个实施例的制作方法,但本发明的有机电致发光组件并不限制于图2A至图2E所示的制作方法制作的结构,但有机电致发光组件中至少应该包括各发光层。
以下继续对根据本发明的实施例的有机发光器件的制作方法进行具体描述说明。
继续参照图1C,在有机电致发光组件300的电子注入层350上制作顶电极220。
顶电极220最通常被设置为阴极。顶电极220也是反光镜。当通过顶电极220观察有机电致发光组件300发光时,顶电极220可以由反射性金属制成,并且应该足够薄以便在发射光的波长下具有部分透光率,这被称为是半透明的,或者顶电极220可以由透明的金属氧化物制成,诸如氧化铟锡或氧化锌锡等。当通过衬底基材100观察有机电致发光组件300发光时,顶电极220可以由反射性金属制成,并且应该足够厚,以使其基本上是不透光的且是全反光镜。
综上所述,根据本发明的实施例的有机发光器件及其制作方法,利用光刻技术制作各发光层对应的空穴传输层,从而无需使用精细金属掩膜版(Fine metal mask),节省了工艺成本和时间,同时也提高了有机发光器件的性能。
虽然已经参照特定实施例示出并描述了本发明,但是本领域的技术人员将理解:在不脱离由权利要求及其等同物限定的本发明的精神和范围的情况下,可在此进行形式和细节上的各种变化。
